7mm-08 is a great round. I shoot one in an encore with 15" barrel. your 12" will be loud and not let the round ramp up to its potential. 15" would be the minimum. for a 12" with a .284 bore the 7 br or TCU might be a better choice. I would go with a 15 or in my state just under 16 if im hunting with it. what are you using for the action?Originally Posted by stealthshooter
